Adobe have finally released the final version of Flash Player 10.1. Distribution and download information available here.
This update also fixes the recent vulnerability too.

Note: an Adobe redistribution license is required if you want to push these out to multiple clients.
That would be an Adobe redistribution license ...it feels like you have to renew every couple of weeks... I do wish they'd drop that (or better, Flash would die).Quote:

FWIW: For several version now, the MSI here is just a simple wrapper around what appears to be the EXE installer you get with the routine download.
I was going to mention that, but I thought everyone should know that by now or already applied for one especially given the frequency of Adobe security patches.Quote:

I'm pretty sure it's been every year.. for starters they "expire" which isn't the right word for a version based licence (one would expect "not valid for this version" or something)..
@arthur
Just saved me a lot of work :)
I'll come and visit when Mr Adobe has you locked up for daring to post links to re-distributables

(Ps - BTW - you've a job for life now to provide any updates :) )
In my defence, I am going to blame Aaron Parker. :)Quote:

I hate toolbars too and avoid them at all costs, although I see Adobe are bundling McAfee Security Scan Plus with 10.1 which McAfee use to foist yet more crapware upon unsuspecting users. :rolleyes: :mad:
I have an appropriate license, shame it took six attempts to get it, it's bizarre 5 times no reponse, the next time it was nearly instantaneous

That sounds like trouble to me, anyone having problems in testing? I've rolled it out to a room and mymaths seems fine with it.
